Composizioni sacre per banda, liturgia e culto locale tra Ottocento e Novecento. Testimonianze nella Biblioteca del Conservatorio "Tito Schipa" di Lecce

Sacred compositions represent, in the band music repertoire between the 19th and 20th centuries, a particularly interesting genre that reflects, on the one hand, the directives issued by the Catholic Church regarding music and, at the same time, changing tastes, highlighting a dense network of exchanges and relationships with other musical genres. Bands also became a major player in paraliturgical music, especially that associated with local worship. The musical documents preserved in the Library of the "Tito Schipa" Conservatory in Lecce offer an interesting insight into the band's repertoire and functions in sacred settings.
